    Try Something Original not Reimagining

    Don't try to replace Adam and Jamie. They are true originals. Try something new with a new name. This is worse than awful. It is sweet that they are educated and definite fans of the Originals but it doesn't need to be done. What was original about the show will be gone. New ideas to try is still not something original.

    I love the idea of a Reality search for something; just not a new Mythbusters. Why not just a new show. Same folks who loved Mythbusters but name it something new with new intentions, new ideas, more original. This group really deserves to do something original; yet more of a spin-off from the Mythbusters. New Name. New People. New Show. New concept.

    The Bar Has Been Lowered Yet Again

    Anybody familiar with the original MythBusters is likely familiar with its gradual decline. The first 5 or 6 season were the "golden age" and then they started tweaking the formula for ratings / to reach a wider audience (i.e. less and less substance, and more and more "wow factor"). The last few seasons had devolved into a sort of "witches brew" of scripted reality TV, and a race to blow something up / create a spectacle, magnificently void of logic / reasoning.

    "MythBusters: The Search" has once again lowered the bar. The show is now formatted as a competition, yet they attempt to shoehorn the elements of the original into the new format as if nothing has changed (e.g. classifying a myth as confirmed, plausible, or busted, when the new format provides virtually no rigorous, empirical justification for doing so).

    To present this uncontrolled, "fly by the seat of your pants" science (if you can even call it that) which takes place under the new competition format, as any sort of definitive, reproducible result is downright idiotic.

    Their mistake was using the "MythBusters" name for the show, as it creates a certain expectation, which goes magnificently unfulfilled.

    Simply Terrible!

    The only reason why I tried to watch this TV show to begin with is because I thought that it might be cool like the original Myth Busters was or at least come close. I was sadly mistaken! This TV Series is so bad that I couldn't even get through the first episode. The host is an idiot and the show is poorly directed and written. How in the hell did they get the rights to use the "Myth Buster" name? What a major and disappointment and failure! I can't see this lasting too long, but that's what I said about Honey Boo Boo too! If you want my advice, don't bother wasting your time. Or you can, just to see if you agree with me or not. It's like they intentionally tried to make it a flop so that they'd have a good tax write off!

    Short but honest word/words abt this series

    I can summarize this series with one word: NO!

    Its simple: This will not even come close to the original series. Let Mythbusters rest in peace without trying to milk a lot of money out of the brand and destroy it in the process. Start a NEW series instead, with a new name and logo.

    Cast is trying to hard

    I too had high hopes when I first heard about this but even the PREVIEWS and commercials were so annoying my hopes slowly were dashed. Finally when the show started I could see it was never ever ever, even in it's wildest dreams, going to be remotely, fractionally close to the original.

    The main problem with this concept is WHY Mythbusters was a hit for such a long time.

    t was not the concept looking for casting. It was not the "pitch" of the show to a producer or network that made it a hit.

    The reason Mythbusters was a smash hit, successful and an inspiration to so many people was because of the two hosts period. Without that chemistry, without that GENUINE surprise, joy, enthusiasm to what they were trying to do it wouldn't have worked.

    This new show starts of right away with one of the worst elements (in my humble opinion) of "reality" shows. The COMPETITION and kicking someone out.

    I despise "vote someone off" TV shows with a passion. They come up with this "forced" work together for a goal with an undercurrent of "working together but secretly against each other". You can't separate that no matter how hard you try.

    The original Mythbusters was the TOTAL OPPOSITE of that horrible reality show concept. Tthe joy of the original Mythbusters was the camaraderie, the working together to figure stuff out. Yes, yes, I know that Adam and Jamie had "competitions" but they were simply fun and no potential careers were on the line. Neither of them was going to "lose their job" if they lost. (I actually think I heard once that Jamie didn't enjoy the competitions but I may be wrong.) Personally I never liked those competitions.

    Another problem with this "search" concept is that all of the cast are TRYING TOO HARD!!!!!! Good grief STOP TRYING SO HARD. It's ANNOYING when some of the cast simply gush and act like morons, doing really really REALLY bad impressions of Adam (or Jamie to some degree). I guarantee the end result of this show will be two "clones" of Adam and Jamie which is a HUGE mistake. I agree they need a new idea.

    Adam Savage's silly, childish personality was 100% real based on who he is and it was clear and believable. The behavior of most of THIS cast is as fake and unbelievable as a 3 dollar bill. It reminds of me of little kids shows when the hosts are completely over the top baby talking happy and over the top enthusiastic because the audience is tiny children.

    I find the majority of the cast unremarkable and unwatchable for more than a few minutes before I start to gag or have to avert my eyes and cover my ears. Those that don't annoy me are simply unremarkable. They have zero personality or their personality is so fake I don't see it lasting very long before they crack under the pressure.

    This show will fail is my prediction. Any resulting "Mythbusters Reboot" will also fail... but I am thinking maybe... this is NOT about finding new Mythbusters hosts but ONLY about another "Survivor" show.

    What a shame if the Mythbusters reboot is just a new show about pretending to try and find someone as interesting as the original cast.
